Alaska and Michigan at Rutgers

Recap

The Big Storyline: 10s on 10s on 10s on 10s. All of the Wolverines’ 10s came back-to-back, starting with Gabby Wilson in the anchor spot on floor and shifting over to Reyna Guggino in the leadoff on vault, followed by Abby Heiskell and Natalie Wojick. Phew! Rutgers was also excellent on vault and nearly matched its season high 195.750 from last week. The good day extended to the Seawolves, who also notched a season best.

Implications: Michigan blasted the previous best score in the country by almost three tenths. The pressure is now on Oklahoma, Utah and Florida for a similarly big hit. Plus, Michigan did it away. Its NQS will be in a happy place right off the bat.

Records: Michigan set new program record team and vault scores, plus Wojcik matched the team-best all-around, tying Elise Ray, Beth Wymer and Sarah Cain—without question Michigan’s three all-time greatest gymnasts. Rutgers’ 49.275 is a new vault program record.

Current Rankings: No. 1 Michigan, No. 66 Alaska, at No. 41 Rutgers

Why You Should Make Time to Tune in: This meet should feature some unique skills and routines, as these teams are all at very different points in the rankings. Look for Alaska’s underrated talent, Rutgers’ amazing depth and Michigan’s dominance.

Need More Proof? Of course it will be fun to watch the No. 1 Wolverines, but keep an eye out for Rutgers’ Belle Huang, too, who currently ranks No. 23 in the country on floor, as well as Alaska’s beautifully choreographed floor routines.
